Velhas Virgens is a Brazilian rock band known for their irreverent, humorous lyrics and a robust dedication to the unabashed spirit of rock 'n' roll. Formed in 1986 in São Paulo, the band is one of the most enduring independent acts in Brazil, carving out a niche in the underground music scene with their unique blend of rock, blues, and samba. Their name, which translates to "Old Virgins," reflects the band's penchant for addressing themes of bohemian life, love and lust, and social commentary, often with a satirical edge.

Over the decades, Velhas Virgens has maintained a consistent presence in Brazil's music landscape, gathering a loyal fan base and releasing numerous albums that showcase their eclectic style. The band has been noted for their energetic live performances and for maintaining their independent approach to production and distribution of their music. Despite lineup changes through the years, founder and lead vocalist Paulão de Carvalho has remained a constant, guiding the group's creative direction. With recent releases such as "Rock 'N' Roll de Natal" and a collaborative work "Rodrigo e Alice (Procurando Chifre em Cabeça de Cavalo)" featuring Falamansa, Velhas Virgens continues to retain their relevance in the music scene, fusing their signature old-school rock sound with contemporary influences and maintaining their characteristic sense of humor and cultural critique.
